Except Those People Who Live in the Middle of Nowhere and List Books for 1 penny. How Can They Do That?

Friends of Lulu has published a list of women working in the background of comics, although I don’t see our own Rachel Edidin there.  (via POWER in comics)

You’ve probably already seen someone link to this blog full of production photos for WB’s Watchmen. (via Making Light)

Small Beer Press, a publishing house I am fond of, not just for their awesome name and copywriting,  is having tremendous sale on fairly obscure SFnal authors.  Even if you have no particular interest in SF, you may enjoy the ad copy, which I found delightful– something which, believe me, I do not generally find ads.

But why are you so angry?

This link has been making the rounds lately, and I think it’s especially pertinent to G-W.org. Given the recent discussion floating around the blogosphere on the place of anger in activism, this fabulous discussion on the empowering and useful aspects of anger provides a new perspective.

Congratulations, Occasional Superheroine!
